Haley is so brave wading through the depths of twitter for us 💀
I agree
Oh my goodness definitely XD tyy haley!
no one ever lived to tell us what happens down there
Fr. I'm happy she got out of there alive.
Ikr, that place is a hell scape
The sketch blur one is my favorite and I've been using it for months. I was always frustrated with line art and found it boring since I was just "tracing" my sketch, but now it feels more natural and freeing, and I feel like I play with the line width more.
honestly im so glad i saw this, for most of my digital art ive done the same sort of thing by making my sketch really REALLY light -- like 5% opacity. this is a wayyy better solution and im not sure why i didnt think of it LOL
Huh I might try that my scheches get pretty refined so might be interesting
I have been using my airbrush as my sketching tool and it works to the same effect and really makes drawing easier and more enjoyable 🍓🍓
I'll have to try that out! I use Paint tool Sai so I'd have to use a blur tool in a different software, but I shall try that at some point
@@Flareontoast Sai V2 actually has a blur tool (and it has more features in general, so it's worth downloading imo)
2:48 you could definitely try this on one of your next “cartoon artist tries realism” videos!
She did it before
@@SparklyTootsEN yes, the comment or says this
I just want to say that your content has inspired me to start writing out the plot to a webtoon! You've helped me improve in my art and character design and I'm so thankful for it!
Hope it goes well!! :D
By "web tool" did you mean "Webtoon"?
@@bluelfsuma yup! Autocorrect will be the death of me one day
@@SwanSongsDiary Damn autocorrect! *shakes fist at sky*
Make sure to say the name when you make it ☺️
Lavender towne has been my main source of art inspiration since 2018 and omg I don’t think i would have improved as much as i have, or even stuck with art as a career choice
Wow. Just wow. Congradulations!
same, she inspired me to experiment with stylisation and it has gotten me SO far!
@@r3nnn._ exactly! Developing your own style is inevitable ESPECIALLY if you draw inspiration from other artists
The facial color blocking hack would be so cool to try on your yearly realism challenge!
I CANNOT EXPRESS MY ABSOLUTE ADORATION OF HALEY'S STYLE AND COMPOSITION- HOW DOES SHE DO IT?!
No matter how far you are in art, I think it can always be fun and sometimes even informative(?) trying art tips from fellow artists, even if you have different styles or you're a little skeptical. You might just learn something new 😄
Trying weird art hacks is actually really good for you and many have become a part of my style so going out of your shell really does work ✨
Agreed. Trying out new tips even if you think it might not apply to your art style is very interesting and may produce something unique that you might like and want to incorporate into your style
true! also if you don’t find the art tip useful now, it could be useful for later or other people. & variety is good, it prevents us from getting stuck
The blur one blew my mind!
I wanna see more of this, because when I see an art tip on the internet and it doesn't work, I feel lost why everyone can use it so well. It's nice seeing not a super one-sided perspective on these things. The mask one especially drove me nuts lol
10:13 i have a super simplistic style and draw superhero characters with masks, and i can confirm that it is so much harder to place the facial features when you feel 'locked into' a mask. that's been my experience at least, i'm also curious to see if newbies find the mask tip useful!
To answer your question (since I can consider myself a newbie), I tried the mask hack and it really did not help, if anything, it made it worse imo since the face started to feel lopsided with the mask. That's just my experience though, maybe it was helpful for someone else but it certainly wasn't for me lol.
I haven't tried it yet but I don't think it'll work for my artstyle
Knowing the blur sketch hack would have been so helpful to me ages ago! Still would be now but i do less digital now and my sketching is different. But i used to have really detailed sketches and i would have to line it so many times cause it just never looked as good as the first sketch, the biggest reason i ever got burn out when drawing
The tip about painting faces with colour undertones helped me so much from the time I found it ! I lean rather on semi-realistic, and it blends well, and it applies with non-human skin tones too (I like to draw aliens), it just helps so much !
i always get so excited when i see you use your characters from the "professional character design" video :DDD
One thing I’ve started doing with my lineart is having a duplicate layer, making the color a brownish red color, setting it multiply, and then blurring it a little bit {like 2%}. I just like it ^^
I love how she is just casually talking while sketching that masterpiece on the first “tip” ✨😭🔥
definitely a nice drawing but I'm fairly certain these are pre-recorded, sped-up and then dubbed over :) If this is her normal speed then her wrists would breaking
was literally just checking out ur channel for another video and saw this one after 6 seconds of upload lmao
anyways-
ur art is super good and you've become an inspiration to many people and me!
HI LAVENDERTOWNE!!!!❤❤❤
I think the mask hack is more helpful when you're doing crazier head angles where you really squash the perspective.
When the head is tiled upwards or downwards I think it's normal for people to lose track of where the eyes fit on the skull. Using a simple shape like the mask to plot out the face can help you think about how your eyes are actually within a pit on your face instead of popping straight out.
Dips on the face will change a lot as the perspective changes, so for this hack I think you turning the head more would have put it to better use :)
Thanks for another cool video Haley! Always gets me thinking about drawing!
I definitely recommend, if you can, making your sketch mostly the construction. Indicate details so you don’t forget them but don’t put everything into your sketch. I personally use a bigger, softer brush for the sketch, and then a small inking tool for the actual lineart
i adore the mask hack! ive been drawing for eightish years now, and i use it all the time. it definitely works better if your drawing style isnt as stylized--i feel like with Lilybell her eyes are so big you barely had room on the face for it lmao
Ok I will be using the sketch one because my line art is *suffering*
You are one of the most inspiring artists to me! Yo motivate me to create art, even if it feels nagging, and in the end, im always glad that I did.
Would you ever consider doing a comprehensive beginners guide to digital art? I'd love to go digital from traditional, but I am so lost & overwhelmed! Love your videos!~♥︎
I always appreciate these types of videos from you. Even if all the tips won't work for me, I feel like once you end up reviewing tips, at least one in each video works so well that I make a big breakthrough. Thank you so much and I look forward to Unfamilare every week!
I know you're probably not gonna see this comment, but I just wanted to say that you've taught me so much about drawing. I remember when I first saw your channel, you were the only creator I really knew of that did drawing-type videos whose art style I enjoyed. You've always been a big source of my inspiration and you're part of the reason I've never stopped drawing. Just wanted to say thanks for that
Thank you for sacrificing your sanity for us ❤
twitter has the best art feedback i think, so i’m excited
I am literally holding the exact plush in your pfp
Im excited that Lavender’s using her new ocs more often
you're literally my biggest inspiration, I've been watching ur vids for so long and ILYYYY!!
i love how she just gets straight to the point💗
AHH YES I was just thinking about your videos!! Ty, and you've been a huge inspiration for me for years 💜
YAY! New video! I’ve been waiting a while for this.
That is interesting about the color mapping. I did a portrait from a photo recently and noticed the skin had much cooler tones around the chin and warmer tones around the nose and eyes. Including that variation in the face added a lot more dimension and interest to the skin. That tip is really useful!
I will say that the blue chin gives the appearance of a 5 'o Clock shadow that I really like.
You give me so much inspiration and get me excited to draw
You sound so calm and it really nice to watch
This looks amazing Lavendertowne!!
These tips are so fergalicious 😻
These tips seem super helpful :00 also awesome video 💖💖
I definitely wanna play more with these tips, these sound very fun to try out
Immediately clicked when I saw the notification, love your videos. ♥
Out of all of these tips, I love the blurred sketch one the most! My lineart used to look rather stiff and uninteresting but using that trick def helped a lot.
Omg! Not only am I exicted to see lilybell again I'm also totally gonna use some of these! Thanks!
For the bluring technique I kinda don't think it would help me since my lineart works really weirdly. The sketch acts as a guideline and the lineart process is where I give life to my artwork instead of the sketch, extra floofs to fur or hair are added, (weird looking) hands are finalized, the eyes are given depth.. the blur wouldn't do anything but ill try it
for the blur thing if u miss ur more defined sketches u could duplicate the sketch and lower its opacity and blur the original. that way, u have the original sketch (somewhat) but its still a bit more blurry
I think the gaussian blur hack might work for us artists who feel like the lineart looks…so plain after you delete the sketch layer, cause once you actually finish your lineart you’ve been sitting/laying there for quite a few minutes, and it looks weird without the sketch underneath because you’ve gotten so used to seeing it behind your lines.
I don't normally do lineart (I have my sketch but then straight to colouring and shading to define things without) but I kinda want to do a lined drawing to try out the first trick 👀
Omg I’ve never been so early on a vid before! I love your videos and have been watching for years your art style is so unique and has been one of the main inspirations for me to draw! ❤️❤️❤️ Never stop creating!
Nice art style! Looks cool
5:24 YES! I remember seeing this on Pinterest and I remember getting so confused over it. Thank you for clearing this up!
I adore your line art style 🤍
Hi!! I love your videos and your art work!! I have been watching you for a couple years!!💕💕
I like sketching with the airbrush so the first tip does work, at least for me to the same affect. Great vid 🍓
This video was very helpful, I can't tell you how many hacks I've been putting off because my art can be very stylized -- But now that I've seen someone else apply it to their equally as stylized art, it's inspired me to try some lf these techniques and add it to my art in the future

Thank you LavenderTowne!
If you ever decide on a part 2 with more of these twitter hacks it'd be greatly appreciated!
I love your art I can't help but see it andabsolutely loved your poison drawings
The queen has posted!
Lavendertwon is one of the best artist!
Shes so good!!
You are my fav yter maybe fav person on the Internet!❤❤ btw unfamiliar is my fav book ever no joke
Hi lavender town I love ur art and u r such an inspiration for me
heyyyyyy! your content has inspired a lot of parts of my artstyle, love ya and have a nice day :)
The mask trick looks useful for my style, so thanks for sharing!
I remember learning that mask eye placement hack, I'd completely forgotten it, but I do think I remember it helping get me to the point of freehanding that better
I will for sure try the skin one! Have been struggling with my drawings looking weirdly flat because of the skin recently.
I tried the lineart hack and I think that I'm going to change my way of working to use it so thank you for showing me this hack
I do the first tip kinda but by accident. I use very soft brushes to do initial sketches, then move on to a slightly more clear one, then a crisp line art brush.
Lavender toowwwwne ur art styles improved so much
wowza new lavendertowne video!! Woop woop!
In my opinion, the mask is only really valuable for shading like it shows in the picture. I don’t see how putting a mask around the eyes is going to effect placement in a meaningful way, but it *is* really good for showing the dimensions of the eye/brow area
i'm definitely trying out the skin color underpainting one later, and maybe the sketch blur one too
Hellooooo lavender!! I love your videos so much!!!
Hay Haley! I found your comic!! I told my little sister and she was so pumped to read it, Im going to be bringing her to are public lybriry more often as well, so ill check it out my self!
i really think that i will try the first one, my lineart is really clean and sometime it feels weird so imma try that thx :D
whenever I'm down, struggling with depression and don't feel like drawing, your videos always revitalize my artistic joy ;-; your art makes me feel things, I often find it difficult to feel
this video was released on my birthday, best birthday gift ever!! :)
I love love love lily bell and I’m so happy to see here in a video again
6:00 i think it does still count as an art hack since it's not a "drawing skill" hack, it's a composition hack. still counts as an art hack cuz there's more to art than technical drawing skill
Ur art style is very cute , its just very nice😊
honestly i think the yellow red and blue face tones tip only goes well for more realistic art styles. especially since their placement is directly dependent on the different structures of the face (the cooler tones falling below the cheekbones and near the chin area dude to things like five o'clock shadow and skin thickness, the warmer tones where the cheeks are, etc.) plus think the colors are vibrant like that for the sake of explanation, it's more showing what the color of the undertones should be
Just got your book. Really good stuff. Looking forward to more content.
I mean this in the least wired way possible, I want to eat your art style. It’s just so cute and pretty
the ads for the physical copy of unfamiliar always remind me that i'm too broke to buy it ✌
I think that the point of the "pose" hack isn't about the pose per se, but there is this "technique" that consists of using shapes to help with perspective drawing. That particular explanation wasn't so good but what you're supposed to do is draw the character in a regular angle and fit them inside a shape, then deform the shape to the angle you want and use the first drawing as reference. Adding guidelines inside that shape is super super useful, like in the character joints. It's hard to explain it with words but I hope it can help someone.
The Gaussian blur one is interesting! I think I’ve been unintentionally doing this by sketching with a soft pencil brush
I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE SO MANY OF MY REFERENCES ON PINTEREST WERE IN THIS VIDEO?? great minds think alike (or maybe it’s just the pinterest recommendations feed)
I sometimes use the painter's skintone tip overtop of the normal skintone as an overlay/mask. Theres also a TON of art tips floating around Pinterest too.
I'm not an artist, but I like your art and might try to do some art in the future, been subbed for awhile
i love underpainting all of my portraits. it just adds a little extra dimension and not to mention spice
wow i love the inverted eye chararcter, shes so unique
I'm trying that Gaussian blur trick next time I draw something
You make beautiful art ❤
I hate lineart when I 1st started digital art, same reason as others bc it doesn't look right and my sketch is better, but now I don't really do super clean sketch anymore. I sketch a guide then I finish it with lineart, now I hate sketching lmao bc I don't repeat steps anymore.
So I think the blurring the sketch is the same thing, making the sketch just a guide and not tracing anything that much
I like the first tip. I do something similar, where I draw with a large brush size and the brush has a low opacity. I also try to make my sketches messy for that reason.
Love it! Also, could you make some more of the Turning _ into humans ect? I LOVE THOSE!
Awesome video as always !!😊 can you share some tips on creating characters? Because I have this problem where I create new characters when I listen to music, read a webtoon or watch an anime. And then I end up having all these unfinished characters because im spread out too thin, is there tips that can help with getting into the habit of focusing on one charcater ( or a group if creating a comic)
An art tip I learned that I use is that I always hated how stiff and robotic my art was feeling so what I did was did a rough sketch then jumped right into the lineart instead of doing a refining sketch and trying to do perfect line art. Another thing is I would just draw naturally without using any line stabilization/correction and just do line art like I would traditionally it helped me a ton!
The mask one! I don’t do quite the same thing but I do something similar. I separate it into two blobby looking diamond looking things? They also fold inwards ish. I started doing this on my own because I felt like my faces were very flat. They also help with making sure I don’t draw the eyes too big and the spacing between the end of the eye and the ear?? If that makes sense ig. I have rules with it that make it work and honestly starting doing this instead of just circle and cross improved my art a lot
Lavendertown…You are a VERY PRETTY human being!
5:33 "We all like to look at faces."
A not inconsiderable fraction of the internet: "FEET PICS."
Basically, good poses = foreshortening
And foreshortening = THE BIGGEST PAIN I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE
I already use something similar to the mask method for animation, maybe its more useful for that than for still drawings.
Decided to try blurring sketch one and making lineart became both much easier and faster :00
(And as a bonus, the brush i use makes color spread out (if that makes sence) a bit which is satisfying to look at)
Thanks a lot! :D
